4. Does SpringerOpen offer discounts on article-processing charges?
Organic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters operates a Membership Program. If the submitting author's organization is a Supporter Member, the author receives a 15% discount on the APC. For authors at institutions that are full Members, the cost of the article processing charge is covered in full by the Membership, and no further charge is payable. Please check if your institution is a Member.
